Is Childish Gambino the best thing since sliced bread?

Yes, yes he is.

End thread.

I'm enjoying his latest album ''Kawaii''
Good stuff.

 

[Quivorir]

He's alright. Not a great, but good enough.

The new album is the business. To be fair though, everything he does is awesome.

Still early for him. Miles better than anyone else out there at the moment.

I enjoy Childish Gambino he's not as prolific as some other posters but always has good insight.

 

[Lums23]

3005 is the shit

Kendrick?

 

[jod23]

Kendrick?

Dont listen to him. For whatever reason I just seem to have this connection with Childish. Everything he raps about I seem to agree with or have had similar experiences or can relate to. I get his humour as well. We have the exact same sense of humour which is why i love his stand up work and his work on Community.

Fair enough, but do yourself a favour and listen to Kendrick Lamar

 

[Juke]

The whitest of white kid rap.

Has a few good songs and his lyrics are easy to remember, but on the whole has a really bad knack for being pretentious and unfocused at the same time. He's a comedian/actor first and a rapper second.

Nah, born rapper. It's why he does that far more than his acting gig. In fact he gave up his acting gig on Community to focus on Gambino.

Also put up some Youtube vids of Lamar's stuff. I always hear him talked about when ppl talk about Childish Gambino. They must be similar.

 

[jod23]

So I just listened to some Kendrick Lamar. He is like old school. West coast. Something I wouldnt hear out of place in the 90's.

None of the songs really stood out for me. King Kunta was probably my favourite. I thought a big difference between Gambino and Lamar is how boring Lamar's video's are compared to Childish Gambino. The King Kunta video was like old rap. Heaps of black dudes with shirts off, dancing with "hot" chicks in front of awesome cars with lot's of bling on. It was weird.

Not sure I would go back to Kendrick Lamar.

Gambino is the man though. He has so many more levels. I love all the theories running around about his video's and how it's telling one big story. Or is he an alien? Like the end of Telegraph Ave.

This article sums up how awesome Childish Gambino is.

I mean the guy wrote a screenplay to read to the music of his album. The screenplay is awesome and you guys should read it. You can find it through that link I posted.

Who listens to music and bases their music choice on the videos though?

 

[Art Corvelay]

K Dot is running rap now. Any other opinion is invalid.

Well it's obviously about the music not the video's but Gambino is the whole package. That's what im saying.

FWIW, I do agree his videos are great.

Is this a joke thread?

Joking about what?

[jod23]

Well I guess a lot of things have been invented since sliced bread that probably beats Gambino. But he is pretty ****ing awesome though.

 

[Theprofessional]

Also saying he's amazing.

Seen him big day out and than his sideshow in Sydney, he's coming to Australia for listen out this year with no sideshows- going to have to buy a ticket today.

 

[jod23]

Is he? ****.... I might have to get a ticket just for him.

 

[BluesMan]

He's fantastic
